Important SVLC Announcements

- All are encouraged to attend the Reflections on Congregational Life and Ministry Event: This Sunday, immediately after worship or Thursday, August 16 at 7pm. In preparation, we would like to ask you to think about how the church has helped your faith grow, what kind of events and opportunities have been most significant to you over the years, what you are looking for from the church in the future, not only for yourself, but for the larger La Mesa community. 

 - Are you interested in being on the Call Committee? If so, please reply to this email (regardless of whether you have already spoken with someone on the Council or Transition Team) or call Pastor Karla by Tuesday, Aug 14 so that your name may be considered. Please include a few words about why you feel you would be qualified to be part of this group. Not all who volunteer will be called to serve in this manner -- but there are always many other opportunities to share your time and talents! 

 - Our next date to serve at TACO* will be this coming Monday, August 13, and for this fall, we are scheduled for the second Monday of every month. Sign up in the narthex -- to meet at 3:00 at SVLC for the carpool (or meet at First Lutheran, 1420 Third Ave, San Diego)
*Third Avenue Charitable Organization; serving the homeless and working poor in downtown San Diego.

- We are looking for volunteers to attend a “How to Create a Safety Plan for Your Church” workshop presented by the Christian Education Network of the ELCA at the Synod office in Santa Ana on Saturday, September 15 from 10am - 2pm. Registration fees and mileage will be reimbursed by the church. Please let Pastor Karla, a council member, or the church office know if you’re interested.

Have a blessed weekend!
